  • I get that. And I did try to play along… But I’m mostly not interested in owning firearms that serve to glorify feds, or politicians, or criminals. Not really favorite groups of people and owning a firearm comes with some baggage to care for and protect each of them lest they harm someone or decay.

    Maybe if MLK or Jimi Hendrix carried a derringer. Or Thurgood Marshall’s shotgun. (No idea whether those are a thing.) But those aren’t likely to be in the crime lab unless involved in a crime amd I also am not interested in having a murder weapon in my house. None of my guns have ever killed anyone (AFAIK) and I’d prefer to keep it that way. Did Harriet Tubman carry a weapon? That would have been illegal but I’d proudly own that.

    Notice the items I chose secondarily are still valuable for their historicity, while revering neither criminals, nor the feds (nor violence, generally.)

    I also like old and weird or otherwise interesting firearms of all sorts. Maybe I lack imagination.
